Anxiety in Young Toddler

My son is 13 months old. And I'm new at this page...posting messages etc...so forgive me if I tent to ramble.Just wondering if it's normal for kids to be "anxious" at this age (not sure how else to describe it). Every time I leave the room he FREAKS out...it's not like I haven't been doing this all his life, and I've never LEFT the apartment or anything without him, he always knows where to find me. Even if I'm with him and my husband leaves, he gets upset! Funny part is...he's fine leaving the room on his own...as long as I stay put where he left me! haha.Anyway, wondering if anyone else is experiencing this. It's driving me crazy as I feel like I can't get anything done around the house!!! I'm sure it's normal...just wondering how you all deal with it?

Its pretty normal for your son to have seperation anxiety. My son had it at a young age and it does get better. He still has a little bit of it now which is still normal. He's good about when I leave him but he does follow me around the house even though I can get him to stay in a spot playing while I'm in another room doing cleaning, cooking, etc I'd suggest to try and get him to help you out if your doing something. For example, say here why don't you play with this box over here why I make us some lunch where he still has a view with you while you are doing some cooking in the kitchen. Have toys for him to play with while you are doing some chores. It will get better jst be patient!! :-)

However, you are often so concerned about not hurting others' feelings that you don't tell them what they need to hear and this gets you both into trouble. But you always have loyal friends to help you out.
